more florida shenanigans, we have a video of a romney volunteer down there saying that president obama is a muslim. it was picked up by an answering machine after the volunteer didn't hang up before moving on to her next call. the clip aired in tampa on a radio station, wmmf. nbc news hasn't independently authenticated the audio. >> well, he is a muslim. that's push polling. you pretend to be polling and all you're doing is putting out the word the guy is a communist. >> would you vote for someone who believes in communist. we're taking a survey. we've been talking about this for a couple years. for some reason the republican party and their conservative allies can't get away from describing obama as muslim, not born here, not believing in america. >> i know, i know, i know this is what they do. the head of florida's gop where the call appears to originate told "the st. augustine record," it was off script completely. we have everything scripted. those are clearly not the views of the republican party of clay county or the mitt romney campaign. they did not deny the incident. this whol

and even though the drudge report has been down this road a bunch of times this campaign season, whenever the romney campaign wants to launch something new that wants to be seen as big news, today the mainstream media fell for it all over again for a minute when it turned out to be an old video of obama acknowledging his former pastor. >> i have to give a special shout out to my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. he's a friend and a great leader. please, everybody, give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor dr. jeremiah wright. where's he at? there he is. that's him. that's him right there. are you letting this scandal just wash over you? the way the right wing teased to the scandalous nature of the video tells you pretty much what you need to know about what they think is important about this. here's how it was being teased on the drudge report about 7:00 tonight. the accent, the anger, the shoutout to reverend wright, who is in the audience. and the snippet from the front page, we should be investing in minority-owned businesses in ou
